Throughout our Ten day Liquid Fast we’ve been reading II Chronicles 20 together. It’s an amazing story about King Jehoshaphat, the nation of Judah, prayer, fasting, and… God’s awesome victory on their behalf! Without taking a lot of time reviewing past posts, suffice it to say that God is in the “victory business.” His heart’s desire is to enter into impossible situations, and turn them into “Him-possible” victories!!
Sometimes it’s easy to read the great stories in the Bible, and think that God was able to do those kinds of miracles back then, or to believe that He’s willing to do the impossible for others, but when it comes to your case – maybe not. Toss that kind of thinking where it belongs – in the throw away pile!! God’s victories are not reserved for days gone by. He hasn’t used up all the mighty miracles on somebody else. NO!! Same God then = same God today. The same “Him-possible”victories work just as well today, and are just as available to you and me.
As we wrap up this the last full day of our fast, take some time to ponder these words from God’s Word, ”Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20,21 NASB)
I pray that this encourages you today with faith for the victories that have come, or are still on their way. Whether our victories arrive by the end of our fast tomorrow, or they don’t come for a while, let’s keep believing God for what He has said He will do in our impossibilities.
Blessed are the Hungry – for They Shall See Victory!!
